Re: G5 auction
LOL seeing used computer prices go up over time is a rather rare pleasure... a few months back there were so many of them I was tracking 30 or 40 at a time and obviously the old supply/demand equation meant they went quite cheap now I guess the flood of bleeding edge adopters of the Mac Pro dumping their G5's for chicken feed has passed. Actually, its 11% buyers premium. Its easy to get carried away and forget that one, as I have in the past. Plus these only have 256 Mb of RAM compared to the ebay one at 768 Mb.

Re: : G5 Auction
The $1100 one had a nice 20 Apple monitor. It also had a dual core 2 GHz processor which the buyer didn't realise, until told later. I bought the only one without a monitor for $725 (with 11% - $804). It was the only other one that had a dual 2 GHz processor. I'm itchin' to get it hooked up so I can see what else is inside. I hope Ray is right about the extra RAM. Thanks to Robin for the serial number link. It was from this I determined the two that had dual core processors. And also that mine was made in March 2006. These all came from Central Tafe and they had original cartons to take them home in (nice bonus). Obviously Tafe was doing a complete makeover because mine came home in a Mac Pro Quad Xeon box. And at the rate they are being turned over come back next year to pick up the Mac Pro :-) Mike Fuller On 28/06/2007, at 3:41 PM, X.ray.Wa wrote: Yes I was their Between $550 through to around $1100 No 15 on the list was $1100 Many dealers were buying them, On the auction list it said they had 256megs of memory and the ones I have seen did have 1.5 gigs of memory Ray - Original Message - From: Ikon Design [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: WAMUG Mailing List wamug@wamug.org.au Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2007 3:22 PM Subject: G5 Auction Any one have an idea what the G5's went for at auction today? -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archives - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines - http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe - mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

Thanks Martin. I tried that and it said No info found. Please try again. I tried also with one of the others that were auctioned, with the same result.

Hi Mark Single processor G5s have come up in my rankings of late but I think the iffy expansion slots issue is a real wet blanket. You may want to look into this yourself but I've come across a few grumblings in forums about low throughput for PCI based hard drive controllers connected to these PCI-only G5s. This may crop up if you are looking at maximising the storage. In particular they're talking about SATA controllers, IDE(or PATA) cards were mentioned too. I would be interested to see if anyone is saying this in regard to Firewire cards also. The upgrade path of a Mac is paramount for me because my last two PowerMacs have shown me it's importance by providing long and steady service at *low costs*.

Re: G5 auction
Wonder what these will go for Probably too much, like the last Ross's auction I went to where 4 or 5year old base spec G3 iBooks (500mhz 128MB) were selling for only $300 less than a new 1.32Ghz G4 iBook. A few months back before I bought my G5 I tracked G5 towers in eBay and this sort of config (1.6Ghz 256 MB RAM) were going from as much as $1100 to under $800 without monitor or generic monitor. Lately been seeing them going for $400-$600 but some being passed in for as low as $500 (starting bid around $500 but with no offers). These are towers - some one here at work asked if they were 17 G5 iMacs which is what they want but punching the serial numbers in to Apple's tech pages sows they are tower units. For me it would be nice to have one or two of these to play with for basic server training but honestly I don't think these auctions attract clued up folk so I'll probably buy one off eBay or here if, say Daniel, has any more come up in the near future.
